Who else thinks it’d be cool to have Sven Co-op or another co-op mod ported to the Source engine for Black Mesa? Same as Sven Co-op is now, but with the BM maps and custom maps.
The easiest thing to do would be to wait for BM M to be released then start playing around with the code from there.
But that will probably be months from now. It’d be nice to have something close to that in the meantime, in my opinion. I’m just thinking out loud here.
They’re not going to release the source code for the mod, so you can’t implement co-op. They might add basic support for it for custom maps, but that’s wishful thinking at this point.
Also, the Sven Co-op team has no plans to port to Source, they’re continuing to work on the GoldSource version.
There are mods like synergy, obsidian conflict, they can mount other games (even half-life source). Maybe there will be a port of BM to obsidian/synergy
I thought Synergy was the Source equivalent of Sven Co-op.
Pretty much, but it’s not directly tied to Sven Coop in any way. SC dropped their development for a source version a LONG time ago to focus more on improving what was already released.
I’m kind of curious as to what they did (if anything) with what they had developed up to that point - assuming they had anything tangible worked out…
Some guys at facepunch are trying to fix the net mode in BMS already. Or so they say.
